Jessie Keyser is a 13-year-old girl from the village of Clifton, Indiana, in the 1840s. During a village-wide outbreak of diphtheria, Jessie's mother reveals it is actually 1996, and Clifton Village is a tourist attraction, a replica of a historical village. She secretly sends Jessie out of the village to retrieve a cure for the disease from a man, Isaac Neeley, who did not think Clifton should be a tourist attraction. Jessie's escape will be difficult, because Clifton is guarded to ensure that none of the villagers leaves or finds out it is actually 1996.

Edit: I was subbing for a class and I had to go over a chapter in the book and right away I thought the Village was a rip off of it and I just checked and yep: there was drama. I'm trying to find out what happened to that but it died out in 2004. Theres no doubt, he's a hack that has to rip off from children's books to fart out a script. --GSTalbert 17:30, 15 May 2015 (EDT)
